The Benefits of Carbon Dioxide Therapy

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is traditionally viewed as a waste product, but emerging research highlights its numerous physiological benefits. Increased CO2 levels have been linked to improved wound healing, enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis, and accelerated repair from injuries and fractures. Additionally, CO2 can improve exercise performance by boosting the oxidative capacity of skeletal muscles, suggesting its role in enhancing athletic capability. Overall, raising CO2 levels in the body appears to contribute significantly to various health improvements, including aiding in cancer treatment and promoting fat loss.
